REY. DRIlRY DOBBINS.

Under the head of Enoch Arden, Tenny-
sons pastoral idyl, we mentioned love ep-
ISOLDE in the life of a pioneer Baptist preach
er, Rev. Drury Dobbins, of local celebrity.
We told recently how he unWittingly mar
ried an attractive lady, whose husband had
deserted her in Tennessee and was supposed
to be dead how the two living husbands
wife as umpire, and how she wisely selected
the last husband, Drury Dobbins, with
whom she lived happily until his DEATH
This episode occurred many years ago, when
our oldest inhabitants were mere lads, and it
has been doubted by some of our Baptist
friends. It is true, and we have dozen
witnesses, to confirm what we wrote and to
convince the most skeptical.
This incident does not detract from his
character, but adds chaplet to his fame.
He offered an amicable settlement of the
husband she should choose. She made a
wise selection and survived the honorable
minister, who died May 10, 1917, full of
years and honor. He is dead, yet his men,
ory still lives, and the noble heritage of his
good name still fingers in this section.
Drury Dobbins was born in York county,
South Carolina, on April 7th, 1776, a year
memorable for the inception of the Ameri-
can Revolution. Born at the beginning of
the struggle for freedom. his life was a well
fought field of battle and he was true SOL
dier of the Cross. He was the son of Will
liam and Susannah Dobbins, of South Caro-
lima. He was an eloquent minister and an
honest shoemaker, and died in Cleveland
(then Rutherford) county at the age Of sew
enty,two years on May 10, 1917: He ,t? was
five feet and ten inches high, of athletic
frame, weighing 200 pounds. His black
hair, penetrating black eye and intellectual
face showed genius and a soul of eloquencce.
He was born to lead, not to follow, for ne
was man of magnetism, and he has leit
his impress upon us. He was noted tor his
industry as shoemaker as we'll as for his
eloquence as a minister.
Or. W. j. r. Miller, one summer, in COM
pany with Hon. John S. Preston, 1.-The old
man eloquent" of Columbia, s: G., asked
this distinguished orator, "What do you
think of our backwoods preachers sermon

been educated, he would have made great

Sans. She married Mr.. Callahan who de-

GEORGE C. JORDAN, General Agent.
| TUNHE immense amount of Life Insurance car
/ ried in this country makes it of National
| importance that heads Of families should be able
to secureit as cheapy as possible consistent with
safety. Especially is this necessary for the mil
lions of men in moderate circumstances, who
must earn their living by hard knocks and in
the face of competition that is becoming Keen
er and sharper every day
If life insurance is not safe it is not worth car
rying, and if it is TOO costly, the men who most %
need it cannot carry it all. How to make 1t both
safe and cheap is the problem of the day, and ne
who solves it will have donea great and patriot
ic service for his fellow men. The Old Line
Companies are certainly safe when honest,y
managed, but their rates are so high, that only
the rich can afford to carry such an amount as
would provide for family, while the great mass
of men, and those, too, whose .imilies most peed
| protection, are compelled to 90 without lnsur-
ance, or seek it in the assessment companies or
secret orders. The fact that these cheaper lnstl-
tutions are to-day furnishing more insurance
than all the Old Line companies combined, shows
how eager are the mass Of citizens for insurance
that is within reach of their means. While these
orders and corporations are furnishing insurance
cheap enough, yet, at best, they can only be
looked upon as temporary expedients and not al
where between the old line and assessment plans
there must be middle ground, which is not
only safe. but Just and tar to dU parties.
THE EINTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIATION
of Staunton, Va, has sought earnestly and hon.
esty to find this middle ground. In this search
they have, at large expense, consulted and en-
ployed the foremost actuaries and insurance ex-
pperls in this country and upon their recommen-
dation have adopted line of rates which is en-
tirely safe, and yet, is in the reach or every
thrifty and industrious man who desires to pro-
tect his family against his death.
To ascertain this safe rate, they added to the
actual death cost experienced by the old line COM
panies an ample reserve. and then reasonable
amount for expenses and profits, but so limited
as to compel economical management. Soplain
and fair and popular are its methods that over
three millions of business was done in the first
eight months work. It's rates are fixed, and
must be paid, deaths or deaths, but are divided
into two, four, or six payments year, as may
best suit the convenience of the applicant.

MARK TWAIN ON EDUCATION.

In recent address, Mark Twain said:
1t is so common that an education is within
the grasp of every one, and if he does not
want to pay for it, why here is the State
ready to pay for it for him. But sometimes
I want to inquire what an education is. l
remember myself, and all you old fellows
probably remember the same of yourselves,
that when went to school 1 was told that
an adjective is an adverb and it must be
governed by third person singular, and all
that sort of thing-(laughter)-and when
cot out of school I straightway forgot all
about it. More laughter.] In my COM
bined character of publisher and author [
receive great many manuscripts from peo-
pie, who say they want candid opinion,
whether it is good literature or not. That
is all lie ; what they want is a compli-
ment. Laughter. But as to this matter
of education, the first thing that strikes you
is how much teaching has really been done
and how much is worthless crammlng.
You have all seen little book called ENG
lish as She is Spoke" Now, in my capaci-
W ty of publisher 1 recently received manu-
script from q teacher which embodied a
number of answers given by her pupils to
questions propounded. These answers show
that the children had nothing but the sound
to 90 by; the sense was perfectly empty.
Here are some of their answers to words
they were asked to define: Auriferous-per-
tanning to the orifce, Qaughter) ammo
nia-the TODD of the gods, (reneWed laugh
ter); equestrian-one who asks questions,
(roars of laughter) parasite a kind of um-
brella, Shouts of laughter); ipecac-a man
who likes good dinner, (reneWed laugh
ter). And here is the definition of an an
cient word honored by great party: Re
publican-a sinner mentioned in the Bible.
(Shouts of laughter and applause). And
here is an innocent deliverance OF zoolog-
ical kind "There area good many.donkeys
in the theological garden" Great laugh
teri. Here is definition which really isn't
very bad in its way: Demagogue--a vessel
containing beer and other liquids. (Pro..
longed laughter). Here, too, is sample of
boys composition on girls, which, must
say, I rather like:
"Girls are very stuckup and dignified in
their manner and behaveyour. They think
more of dress than anything and like to
play with davis and rags. They cry If they
see a cow in q far distance and are afraid OF
guns. They stay at home all the time ana
20 to church every Sunday. They are al
ways sick. They are always funny and
making fun of boys hands and they say
how dirty. They can't play marbles. L
pity them, poor things. They make fun of
bows and then turn round and love them.
I don't behave they ever killed cat or any,
thing. They look out every minute ana
say, "Oh, at the moon lovely" Thir IS
one thing / have not told and that is they
al ways now their lessons bettern boys"
